Teradata Unified Data Architecture™

Leading data-driven companies put data and analytics at the center of their business. The data and analytic-centric approach, as opposed to the common application-centric approach that grows in complexity and cost over time with decreasing value, allows you to connect the dots across your business.

Power your organizational opportunities by more effectively organizing, storing, and leveraging data

Make smarter business decisions based on deep and relevant insights

Organizations that want to gain a competitive advantage through analytics need to adopt a comprehensive data architecture that leverages existing, new, and emerging technologies. Harnessing relational and non-relational data, and running SQL and non-SQL analytics requires specialized technologies. That’s why Teradata offers best-in-class solutions that directly address business needs, while continuing to strip out the complexity typically associated with a hybrid environment.

To that end, the Teradata UDA removes barriers to unifying the data ecosystem.

As organizations embrace the idea of an ecosystem approach that leverages Hadoop alongside relational and other environments to harness all data, the challenge becomes connecting the dots data stored in different environments.

A Powerful SQL Engine for Hadoop and Beyond

Originally developed by Facebook, Presto is an open source distributed SQL query engine for running interactive analytic queries against data sources of all sizes ranging from gigabytes to petabytes. Presto, unlike some other SQL on Hadoop engines, leverages standard ANSI SQL, and has been architected from the ground up for high performance interactive query processing against Hadoop and other data sources. Many SQL on Hadoop engines are limited in performance by the restriction of writing processing steps to disk, while Presto’s pure memory-based architecture is built for speed, allowing Presto to support large numbers of concurrent interactive queries against huge data sets. Building upon the Presto query engine developed and open sourced by Facebook, Teradata has made a multiyear commitment to contribute to Presto’s open source development and provide commercial support designed to increase adoption of this free, 100% open source software.
